Petrified Wood Park // Muang district - Nakhon Ratchasima - Thailand
This Petrified Wood Park located in Tambon Suranari has a collection of over 10,000 petrified wood pieces. These wood pieces were unearthed from just beneath the surface to a depth of 8 meters.
The wood is of various sizes ranging from pebbles to rocks with a diameter of over 50 centimeters, while some pieces are more than 1 meter long. The petrified wood pieces appear in a range of colors and have been aged at between 1 and 70 million years. Provincial authorities plan to turn this area into a petrified wood park and the first museum of its kind in Asia in order to conserve these prehistoric treasures for future generations to study.
To reach the Park, take Highway No. 304 (Nakhon Ratchasima-Pak Thong Chai) for 19 kilometers, turn right into Suranari University of Technology (second gate) and drive for 3 kilometers, turn left onto the Mitraparp-Nong Pling city bypass and drive for 2 kilometers to Wat Krok Duean Ha.
